Stephen Smith's world title bid may have slipped under the radar in the last 18 months, which is why trainer Joe Gallagher believes his fighter cannot afford to lose when the spotlight falls on him on Saturday night.

Smith faces Devis Boscheiro in a IBF featherweight eliminator for the world title at the Olympia and defeat could finally put an end to his dreams of a world title.

The 30-year-old has lost just once in his career - to world champion Lee Selby - but a second defeat would leave it a long road back for 'Swifty'.

A win however would see him book a clash with world champion Jose Pedraza.
